Naknek River Duck Hunting
Waterfowl hunting in southwest Alaska begins September 1 and
runs until December 15. The area has a large migation of both
Puddle Ducks and Divers. Early in the season the ducks that make up the majority of the harvest are American Widgeon, Pintail, Green Winged Teal, Gadwall, and a few Mallards. As the season progresses a larger percentage of Mallards begin to migrate into the area. Hunting is usually done from the river bank over decoys. The river is affected by the tide, so blinds are chosen depending on the water level and number of birds in the area.
Alaska Cast and Blast
If you would like to get in on some of the areas excellent Alaska Trout fishing as well as some Alaska duck hunting, days can be split up with both. Many days limits are possible in short amount of time and one get get a pretty full afternoon of fishing in as well. Fishing this time of year is generally for the Naknek River's trophy Rainbow Trout, although some years Silver Salmon are still available.
